The Human Genome Project (HGP) is a research program that has international cooperation with the goal of trying to build a detailed map of the human genome. The human genome is a complete set of genes found within the human chromosome. There is an estimated 50,000-100,000 genes ... was not in the budget. In the other countries participating in the project, they are in the same situations as here in the U.S. The purpose, to build a map of the human genome, actually goes a little further then that. The medical community is the biggest supporter of the project for the simple fact that if you find...

The Human Genome Project would provide a catalogue and map documenting each base pair in the human genome. It is envisioned that with this blueprint of humanity, researchers and drug companies would be able to make news discoveries at a much ... isolate genes whose proteins have roles in causing the disease.
